The best way to remove a sound?

Hello,
I have an outside sound, which plays at the same time as the vocalist start to sing in my voice track. These two sounds (the outside one and the vocal) are so mixed, that I don't seem to be able to remove the outside sound without destroying the vocal. Could anyone advise me on which is the best way to deal with this situation? Thanks!

There's no such thing as 'impossible' in this context. If you really do have a vocal-only track from a live concert (er, perhaps you should have mentioned this before...), then you put the soloist back in the same space, and just re-record the offending bit and mix it back. Or just use a similar mic setup somewhere else, and use the ambience of the original recording to convolve the sound from this (which Audition can do) to sound similar to the original. In desperate situations, this can often work rather better than you might think.
There may be other options too - can you tell us more about the way this was recorded, in terms of tracks, mics, etc? It's just possible that if this is the right sort of stereo recording, a sound emanating from a place different from the sound you want may be able to be reduced somewhat anyway.

    I got some hair spray on my new Mac Book Pro Retina Display. Any thoughts on the best way to remove?

    I would use this.  I use it on my MBPs and it does an excellent job.  I cannot say with authority that it will remove your hair spay residue.

  • What is the best way to remove footage from the middle of a clip?

    What is the best way to remove unwanted footage from the middle of a clip? I have a clip that I've trimmed from the start and finsih, but I need to remove "boring" footage from inbetween.

    Thank you for your replies. I tried the blade tool followed by select and delete but it did not seem very precise. I had better success with this aproach at the ends rather than in the middle. I watched a tutorial video on using the precision editor, but the video was small so I had a difficult time following where the person clicked, etc. Any info on using the precision editor would be greatly appreciated. I need to make precise cuts to avoid creating unatural motion for the subject. So far, close but no cigar.

  • What's the best way to removed unwanted files?

    I have an iMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11 with 1GB of DDR SDRAM. I'm wondering what's the best way to remove unwanted files from the RAM, if it's even possible. There are apps and other files I no longer need. If I can dump the unused files will it help the computer run a little faster? Can I eliminate the unwanted files some how by myself or do I need a program that does it? Thanks

    Applications are stored perminately on the harddrive [ Macintosh HD ]. When applications are running that is when they appear in a window, they take up RAM. You see your running applications by using activity monitor:
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
    Application when they are not running, they do not take up RAM.  You will not see any performance improvement when you delete an application from your Harddrive.  [ unless you have filled up your harddrive ]
    Best to have greater than 2gig of free space on your Harddrive.  Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.
    Most applications do not take up much space on the Harddrive.  I copy my unused application to a folder named additional applications.

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
    Go after large files that you have created & know what they are.  Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

  • What is the best way to remove malware?

    What is the best way to remove malware? I don't want to have all kinds of stuff running in the background slowing my machine. My machine is about 5 or 6 years old and running OS X 10.6.8.

    Has your Mac been infected by a Botnet?
    Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.
    Detailed information here:
    http://mac-internet-security-software-review.toptenreviews.com/how-do-i-know-if- my-computer-is-a-botnet-zombie-.html
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful:

  • What is the best way to remove applications?

    I would like to remove unused applications (iChat, Dashboard, iCalendar and so on...)
    I am running audio software and using CPU quite heavily.
    What wold be the best way to remove these types of applications completely and have as minimal running in the background possible??? (I have already turned off Bluetooth, Airport etc...)
    Should I install removal software or just send them all to the Trash bin?

    None of those applications are running unless you launch them. Dashboard widgets only use CPU time and RAM if they are running. If you quit all widgets in the Dashboard then there's no memory footprint or use of the CPU.
    If you don't want anything but essentials running then don't launch any applications and remove any Login Items from Accounts preferences.
    Just because an application is installed on the computer does not mean it is running unless you launch it or configure it to launch automatically. So there is no need to remove any of these applications or utilities.
    You will find some good books on Macs and computers in general at your local bookstore. Your question suggests that you could benefit by reading a few.
    As for how to uninstall applications that you have installed see the following:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

    What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

    All Apple recommends is a damp cloth.
    Depending on how much and thick it is, I'd use a dry papertowel or your fingernail to scrape the bulk of it off (I suggest fingernail so that you use something that can't really scratch the iPad)
    Once you get most of it, then use a damp, not wet, cloth, maybe one that you moistened with warm water to help cut through the waxy nature of the crayon.
    What you don't want to do is use chemicals or anything like a scrubby pad because you don't want to scratch the surface in your efforts to clean it.

    Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be

  • What is the best way to integrate a sound file (mp3) into a PDF?

    I saw that its possible to do it by Tools->Multimedia->Sound. This works fine on a computer but not a tablet. So what is the right way to embed a sound file into a PDF of maybe by Indesign? What i want is that people can easily open a document (PDF) on a tablet and when they click on a (play)icon that they hear a sound file. The best thing is that they can stop or put it on pause.

    I think this functionality relies on Flash, so it's not likely it's going
    to work on mobile devices, certainly not on iOS ones.
